In the divided state of Missouri after the Civil War, allegiances to the North and South separate many communities. When Southerner Gill MacBean (Thomas Mitchell) welcomes a stranger, Henry Carson (Van Johnson), into his home in Rosy Ridge, Gill is suspicious of Henry's loyalties. As Henry earns the family's trust -- and falls in love with Gill's daughter, Lissy Anne (Janet Leigh) -- he convinces the residents of Rosy Ridge to overcome their prejudices.
